- 1. Let N1(p) denote the number of pairs of integers in [1, p - 1] in which the first is a quadratic residue and the second is a quadratic nonresidue modulo p. Prove that N1(p) = (1/4) (p - ( - 1)^((p - 1)/2)) 2. Let N2(p) denote the number of pairs of integers in [1, p - 1] in which the first is a quadratic nonresidue and the second is a quadratic residue modulo p. Prove that N2(p) = (1/4) (p - 2 + ( - 1)^((p - 1)/2)) 3. Let N3(p) denote the number of pairs of integers in [1, p - 1] in which the first is a quadratic nonresidue and the second is a quadratic nonresidue modulo p. Prove that N3(p) = (1/4) (p - 2 + ( - 1)^((p - 1)/2)) 4. Use the results of theorem 10-4 and corollary 10-1 to construct solutions of x^2 + y^2 =29. 5. Prove ( without assuming corollary 10-1) that, if p is a prime ≡ 1 (mod 4), then there exists positive integers m, x, and y such that x^2 + y^2 =mp, with p ┼ x, p ┼ y, 0 < m < p [ Hint: use the proof of Theorem 11-2]. Theorem 10-4: If p is an odd prime, then ν(p) = (1/8)p + Ep where | Ep| < (1/4)(p)^(1/2) +2. Corollary 10-1: Every prime p ≡ 1(mod 4) is representable as a sum of two squares. Theorem 11-2: For each prime p there exist integers A,B and C, not all zero, such that A^2 + B^2 + C^2 ≡ 0 (mod p). - Theory of Numbers The Distribution of Quadratic Residues ...
